Jesus and Muhammad Paper

There are hundreds of thousands of religions all over the world. Some of them we know about and some of them we don’t. Usually, one thing that most religions have in common is a founder or the head figure of the religion that any particular religion revolves around. This one person is the teacher and everyone else is the follower. Two major religions that are still extremely active in today’s world are Christianity and Islam. These two religions are very similar in many ways, yet unique in their own right. One similarity is their belief in God, and one difference is who the messenger is. Christian’s believe it is Jesus, who is the son of God, and…show more content…

Muhammad became the ward of his uncle after the deaths of his father, mother, and grandfather. Muhammad’s uncle put him to work as a shepherd. It is said that when Muhammad was a teenager his uncle took him on a trip to Syria. There, a Christian monk identified marks on his body which indicated he was a prophet. Muhammad later married, and with the understanding of his wife, began to spend a lot of time in solitude contemplating his spirituality. As the story goes, when Muhammad was forty a spirit named Gabriel came to him in and made him recite what is now the first words of the Qur’an. Muhammad also shared his revelations with his few followers. When Muhammad was forty three, he was instructed to start preaching publicly. After doing so, Muhammad was shunned and ridiculed. Eventually Muhammad and his closest followers were banished for three years, made to live off the land. After the three years was up, they were allowed to return, but their persecution continued. Pilgrims to Mecca recognized Muhammad as a prophet and asked him to come to their city. This started a war between Mecca and Medina, which Muhammad and his followers eventually won. In the eleventh year of the Muslim era, Muhammad made one last pilgrimage to the Ka’bah to demonstrate the rites that were too followed from that point on. Muhammad died in 632 CE after becoming ill. All of his revelations were written down, and then memorized by his followers. This is now the

“Jesus Creed” Response Paper
The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture, I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them. I did not know Jesus had amended the Shema of Judaism because I didn’t know there was a Shema….

Jesus – the Epic Hero
Although the Bible’s description of Jesus and his crucifixion has not been changed, the perception of the people about Jesus has been changing throughout the ages. The poem “The Dream of the Rood” is good example of a unique view of Jesus and his crucifixion. The poem is referred as “one of the first and most successful treatments of the crucifixion” in Old English poetry (Burrow 123).
The poem consists of a mixture of Christian and epic elements and has a very unique style….

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
No other event in history has been the object of as much scrutiny and
criticism as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is
the basis upon which all Christianity stands. If the resurrection never
happened, then there would be no Christianity, as the Apostle Paul says in 1
Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless
and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried
to attempt….

I chose two religious figures, Buddha and Jesus who had religious experiences and became well known as the founders of their religion. The reason I chose these two people is because Jesus is a well known figure of Christianity and I wanted to compare it to a religion that is more known in the Eastern culture, which is Buddhism.
Jesus Christ was born to Joseph and Mary born in a manger and was first discovered by some wise men traveling through the dessert. His childhood consisted of growing in the….

While the two religions are monotheistic, it does not mean they believe in the same beliefs nor have the same beliefs about their Gods. While Christianity believes Jesus to be the son of God, Islam believes in Mohammed; a….

Jesus Reflection Essay
What I learned from the Jesus film was about his teaching. I have to say he preached a lot of good words and I wished I can see various people practice his words in society and cultural. There are some people who follow and read the Bible to start their life on a righteous path and there are some that I see our falling into sins and wrong choices in life.
In the book of Matthew I think Jesus was teaching the people how to carefully….
